Spinach 'Tundra' organic
Spinacia oleracea
Product code : WHPER-0071
Organic 'Tundra' spinach produces oval, semi-savoyed leaves on an upright plant. This habit allows for harvesting leaves with less soil contact. Plant seedlings in fertile, loose, and well-drained soil. Consistent growth depends notably on steady moisture and sufficient spacing between plants. Prefer cool periods, as the crop is sensitive to bolting. In summer, pay closer attention to watering and adapt the location to handle high heat. Weed carefully to avoid disturbing the shallow roots. Harvest the outer leaves when this method is suitable for the cultivated type, keeping the center intact.

Growing method
Organic 'Tundra' spinach bears oval, semi-savoyed leaves on an upright plant. This habit allows for harvesting leaves with less soil contact. Begin cultivating 'Organic Tundra Spinach' in an area prepared for sowing. Sowing depth: 0.6 to 1.3 cm (0.2 to 0.5 in). Recommended spacing: 5 to 10 cm (2 to 3.9 in) between plants; 45 to 75 cm (17.7 to 29.5 in) between rows. Favor cool periods to extend the leaf harvest. Heat and long days can accelerate bolting; sow again when the season becomes favorable once more. Place seedlings in fertile, loose, and well-drained soil. Consistent growth depends notably on steady moisture and sufficient space between plants. At the start of the season, prepare your equipment and check soil conditions before setting your schedule. Adapt your actions to the stage of the plants rather than a rigid date. After emergence, ensure sufficient light and thin the seedlings to avoid excessive competition. Gradually acclimate plants intended for the outdoors. During growth, observe the foliage, moisture levels, and the potential appearance of pests. Identify the problem before choosing an intervention.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Soil pH
6.0 to 7.0 — general recommended range for vegetable gardens
Watering
Regular
Soil type
Use a soil or substrate that allows excess water to drain while retaining the moisture necessary for the roots. Work the soil when it is dry enough to avoid compaction. Remove weeds before planting and adapt the addition of organic matter to the crop. For containers, choose a potting mix appropriate for the plants being grown. A soil analysis is more useful than a systematic addition of amendments for determining the necessary corrections.
Fertilization
Base fertilization on soil fertility, the substrate used, and observed growth. Follow the dosages indicated on the chosen product; increasing applications does not guarantee better results. Pre-enriched potting soil does not require the same interventions as a poor substrate. Avoid placing concentrated fertilizer against seeds or fragile roots. Water according to the manufacturer's instructions and reduce applications when growth slows down.
Moisture
Consistently moist soil, without standing water
Seasonal care
'Tundra' organic spinach bears oval, semi-savoyed leaves on an upright plant. This habit allows for harvesting leaves with less soil contact. At the start of the season, prepare your equipment and check the soil condition before setting your schedule. Adapt your actions to the plants' growth stage rather than a rigid date. After emergence, ensure sufficient light and space out the seedlings to avoid excessive competition. Gradually acclimate plants intended for the outdoors. During growth, monitor the foliage, moisture, and any potential pest appearances. Identify the problem before choosing an intervention. Remove debris that hinders airflow, keep paths accessible, and reassess watering after rainfall. Note the sowing dates and key results. At the end of the cycle, clean your tools and store remaining packets in a cool, dry place. These observations allow you to adjust future sowings more precisely to your location. Place seedlings in fertile, loose, and well-drained soil. Consistent growth depends notably on steady moisture and sufficient space between plants. Prefer cool weather periods when the crop is sensitive to bolting. In summer, monitor watering more closely and adapt the location to extreme heat. Weed carefully to avoid disturbing superficial roots. Harvest outer leaves when this method suits the cultivated variety, keeping the center intact.
Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Favor cool periods to prolong the leaf harvest. Heat and long days can accelerate bolting; sow again when the season becomes favorable once more. The organic 'Tundra' spinach has oval, semi-savoyed leaves on an upright plant. This habit allows for harvesting leaves with less contact with the soil. Place the container in its final location before filling it. Choose a pot with drainage holes that is stable and large enough for root development; a simple closed decorative pot does not allow for water drainage. Use potting mix rather than compact garden soil. Moisten the substrate before sowing or planting, without saturating it. Leave a rim at the top to facilitate watering and maintain space between the plants. Check moisture regularly with your finger, as the surface may dry out while the bottom remains damp. Water slowly until water comes out of the holes, then empty the saucer. During hot spells, check the pots more often. Fertilize according to the needs of the crop and the instructions for the chosen product. Roots have a limited volume: container gardening therefore requires different monitoring than in open ground. Position any supports during initial setup. Keep easy access to inspect the leaves, remove damaged parts, and harvest without pulling on the stems. At the end of the cycle, remove debris and clean the equipment before using it again.
Garden associations
In goodcompany.
Companion plants
Organize neighboring crops according to their light requirements, height, and space occupied at maturity. Prevent tall plants from permanently shading smaller ones or blocking access for watering. Successive crops can use the same space if the first is harvested before the next one expands. Flowers diversify the garden, but companion planting does not guarantee the absence of pests. Keep enough air between plants and observe the interactions on-site. Use companion planting as an organizational tool, without attributing automatic protection against diseases to it.

Edible parts
Leaves per crop
Organic 'Tundra' spinach. For 4 servings, allow 500 g (18 oz) of vegetables, 1 small onion, 15 ml (1 tbsp) of oil, and 60 ml (¼ cup) of water. Prepare a side dish of cooked vegetables with herbs, choosing only the edible parts of the harvest. Wash the vegetables, remove any damaged parts, and cut them into uniform pieces. Heat a little oil in a saucepan, add a minced onion, and let it soften over medium heat. Incorporate the firmer vegetables first, then add a small amount of water to prevent sticking. Cover and continue cooking until they become tender. Add delicate leaves or pieces that cook quickly towards the end. Season with fresh herbs, pepper, and a little salt to taste. Serve with rice, bread, or another cooked grain. Adjust the cooking time to the vegetable used: the desired textures vary depending on the harvest. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a clean container. This preparation is intended to be consumed as a cooked dish; it is not a canning method.
